Don Giovanni, Mozart's Tragi-Comedy, From LA Opera

Don Juan was one of literature's greatest cads -- the original "love 'em and leave 'em" kinda guy. But when the legendary seducer is given one last chance to repent of his philandering ways, he adds murder and blasphemy to his lengthy list of sins! The last straw having fallen, human and supernatural forces combine to enact a terrible punishment. LA Opera's version of Mozart's classic is a production new to L.A., featuring a stand-out performance by the smolderingly intense Ildebrando D'Arcangelo as Don Giovanni. The show features vividly theatrical staging by Peter Stein, Germany's leading theater director.

Opera is always a magnificent experience and this one wasnt the exception, director Placido Domingo and the whole team, sopranos and tenors etc were exceptional , superb as they should be, the only problem were my stupid seats horribly at the back from the back of the back ... definitively for this amazing experience like Opera I recommend you to get tickets directly from the website LA OPERA, these seats I had from gold star were awful, horrible , but of course for that price what else I could expect..they were really cheap but next time definitively I rather pay the full price in the official website but have excellent seats!!!, gold star works perfect for events like broadway musicals and below but for shows extremely expensive like Opera where a price of an orchestra ticket worths 500 grants forget it !! they ll never have such great seats!!

All and all unless you have nothing better to do, skip this one.
But, our seats were excellent, 4th row center, couldn't...continued
